Natural sources: Rock/soil: Earth’s crust contains (on average) 2-5 ppm arsenic, though some kinds of minerals have much higher concentrations of arsenic. Some examples of arsenic minerals are arsenopyrite, realgar, orpiment, arsenolite. Weathering of these minerals will result in some arsenic getting into water and air. Volcanic activity can release large amounts of arsenic to […]
